In the short animated film “Rodney Raccoon Goes Green” Sassy the Salmon, and her backup salmon dancers, break into a soulful number that helps educate youth about our role in creating polluted runoff and simple solutions to help. Rodney Raccoon and the Way Out Kids created this film during their time in the Spaceworks Creative Enterprise program.
This film took the Grand Prize at the 1st annual Puyallup River Film Festival. The festival saw entries from the Pierce County’s Office of Sustainability, Lincoln High School’s Lincoln Center, the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission, the Friends of Fennel Creek, Washington State University’s Puyallup Research and Extension Center, amongst several others. The audience voted and gave best of awards in four categories including, high school student, college student, governmental organization, and non profit organization. Spaceworks sends out a big congratulations to Rodney Raccoon and the Way Out Kids for receiving awards for both the non profit category, as well as the Grand Prize!
